MPOR,TANT 11%.1PROVEMEN'r it, PEN.! KNIVES.—The usual manner of manufacturi n g Pen. I nife Blades has long been a subject of complaint. The edge ! is Inscle too steep and the angle too obtuse; the consequence is that the edge in cutting is sometimes unmanageable anti driven Into the quill nearly across. This inconvenience almost every r ental in the habit of making pens has frequently experienc ed. r 0 obviate this entirely, T. CLARK, of Exeter 'Change, has Introtitwed a Penknife Blade, manufactured entirely on a new rneiple the line of the edge being p arallel with the side of blade forms a very acute angle : the instrument, therefore, !Yen in inexperienced hands, may be easily governed ; no cut. tint but what is intended can take place, and the Pen is fo rmed !it the greatest nicety and the utmost facility. The bla de of ~,1 Penknife is beautiful in workmanship, and can be recOm- Tiended with confidence, as superior to any article p reviously introduced i nto t hi s b ranc h o f C u tlery. Also can be used wit h t , )e right or left hand.—The blades are made from relined silver steel. To T. TAYLOR, Esq. No. 9, New Bridge-street, London.

The Return of the Dean and Chapter of the Collegiate Church of St. Peter, Westminster, to the order of the lionourahlc House of Commons, dated 16th .larch, 1626, for an account of the sums charged by the Dean and Chapter of 'Westmin ster, for the admission of each visiter to view the public mo. numents in that Abbey ; the total amount received from that source, in each year, for the last five years, and how the same has been appropriated The Dean and Chapter of ‘Veitminster are unable to make the precise return described in the order of your Honourable House. The order requires tor nceennt of the sums charged for admission to view the " Public Monuments" in the Ab bey. But no charge has ever been made for viewing the " Public Monuments," as distinguished from the private . ones. The whole are viewed together for a fixed sum ; and by far the greatest part of the Monuments are those of private Persons; for viewing which the greatest part of the charge is incurred. The Dean and Chapter, however,, having not the smallest, wish that any part of the subject, shoold be Conceal ed, wio furnish such information as they possess concern ing it, "though beyond the wins of the order of your Hon . House. ht. As to the sums charged for the tulmi,y , ion of each visi e)r to view the monuments, prime as well as public, for the last five years : Before his Majesty's Coronation, In 1821, the whole sum permitted to be charged , was Is. I Id. But the guides had ob. tained additional gratuities froni the visitors, anti complaints were made against these exactions. • When the church was re opened after his Majesty's Coronation, a new order was there fore made, and the utmost sum to be received was es., all com pensation to the guides being included in this snrri.. This regulation, under which less was paid by the public than before, was continued till June, 1825, when the sum was lowered to Is. 3:1, 2d. The total amount received from the above source in each year, for the last five years.-- 1821 . 1822 . 1823 . 1824 . 1825 . Gal 11 11 2,317 '► 3 1,664 13 9 1.09 0 5 1,585 1 0 3d. How the same hits been appropriated : • • • All the above sums have been received by the Wrier canons, and the gentlemen of the choir ; 'anti divided among them selves, after portions allowed to the officers at the chnir ; the Dean and Chapter neither ; interfering, nor knowing when the division was made. • This grant was mile to the choir in the year 1697, on the condition that, receiving the benefits from the exhibition of the monuments, they should keep the monuments always clean. — This, however, had not been done, and when the Dean and Chapter wished, after his lilajeaty's:coronation, to give to the' Abbey ai much beauty as possible, they eleaned all the mti numents at their own private expense, with the sole excep tion of the royal monuments, which were subsequently repaired and cleaned, without any agency of the Dean and Chaptt.r, a ;h a only knew the amountof the charge fbr that work from the list of contingencies lately submitted to Parliament. The Dean anti Chapter have made the ataiVe statement, in order to meet the wishes of your llonour.,i,le mow. They will now beg leave to ay a tow words on behalf of themselvt.m. They would humbly reprettent, that their church is en titled-to its share of the general favour and protection given by law and usage to the Church of England at large, and that it has its common rights, which it must always be anxious to preerve. • • I s t i$ t resent farther to your heir duty and their pride to rep Honourable H o use, that they have the honour to hold their Church under a special Charter, granted by the benevolence of the Crown. In t his Charter, Queen Elizabeth has, of her free bounty, conferred the Church on the Dean and Chapter for ever, and has subjected it to their sole and lawful ma nagement. And farther, their founder lute not only empowered, but TO. quired them to defend the privilege sod immunities which she has thus bestowed upon them, against all aggression or en croachment. By Order of the Dean and Chapter, - GEOBOE GILES 'VINCENT, Chapter Clerk. MEETING Al' ST. LUKE'S For some months past the parish of St. Luke has been in an unusual ferment, owing to an expected come. t for the situation of vestry-clerk. One of the parties, Mr ~Vti.as, had filled the office fur .the last 16 years. The other candidate was a Mr, FLOAANCE, ' Among the reasons urged for the removed of Mr. Wilks, it was sweet, that his demean. our to the parishioners was at all times haughty and overhear• ing ; that he had evinced unnecessary harstmiss and rigour to the poor ; that he derived too great an income front his office ; that he was a Dissenter from the established religion; that he had been the solicitor to the notorious. Equitable Loan Cont. Many ; that he had rated many of the houses ,in the parish 'at ton high a rate ; and that he had opposed the macadamizing of Finsbury.phce, in opposition to the wishes of the inhabitants. These objections had been urged against Mr. %VOA from tim to time, and the new candidate, in order to'stmgthert his claims to the support of the vestrymen, had (inked, it was said, to execute the duties-of the office of Vestry Clerk for half the sum which Mr. \Yaks derived front the wffice. A good deal of paper-war, in the shape of electioneeiing squibs in prose and poetry, bad passed between the partitat,: and accualtions and recriminations were bandied from one to the other, so that: tormy discussion was expected as a matter of course, when the subject-matter in dixpute, and the claims of the respective claimants, should comae forward in doe form. Accordingly, a numerous meeting of vestrymen assembled yesterday at an early hour, at St. Luke's church, in order to open the proceedings, and after some preliminary matters were dlspOsed of, Mr. POTTER, one of the Clturchwardens, was called to the Chair. Alderman Bitowx then rose for. the purpose of proposing Mr. Was as a fit and competent person to perform the duties of Vestry Clerk, a situation which he had held for the.spacecf la years, and to which he was fully-competent. Sir C. C. nowEit seconded the *notion.' Mr. YEATES then rose, for the purpose of naming Mr. Ylorance the the office of Vestry Clerk indoing,so he was ac tuated hy,po feeling of hostility to Mr. Was. Mr. BislicP seconded the motion. A discussion of rather a stormy nature then followed, and se ral gentlemen, among whom were Mr. Bateman and 31elliee, delivered their sentiments in support'of the respective candioates. Mr. PATTI-sox spoke in support of the claim of Mr. Fu.. ranee. and recapitulated the charges advanced against Mr. Wilks. It having been asserted by the friends of Mr. Wilks e that the committee of Mr. Florence had, prior to their propo s ing t h at gentleman, waited on Mr. Wilks, jun., the son Of the other candidate, in order to obtain his consent to be nominated for the office in opposition to his father, and that circurinaanee having been distinctly denied by the friends of Air. Florence, Mr. Metes, jun., came forward, and stated, that in Nov. last, he had been waited upon by three gentlemen, whose names were subsequently signed to the requi,ition inviting Mr. Flo» ranee to become a candidate, who tirgoi him to oppose his fah, r and that they would ler him their support, but to this proptsi. tion be promptly dissented. (Several voices called to Mr. Nl'llks to name the parties who had waited ttn hint.) fle; did riot wish to elate the names of those gentlemen, unless he had their sanction for so doing, but be would name one of them who now faced him : Mr. Haller was one of those who had waited on him. Mr. HALLER soletnttly declared that he never had invited Mr. IVillts, jun., to become a candidate in opposition to his father, and he appealed to God for the truth of what he said. Mr. GREENLAND then came forward with a letter in his hand, which he said he had received from Mr. Wilks, jun., in which that gentleman desired him (Mr. (Greenland) "to stand up in church and say that he fully believed his statement to be true respecting the application to which he (Mr. Willis, jun.) had alluded Mr. IlateeEn produced a letter from Mr. Wilks to a like effect. Mr. WI T.as, jun., then protested to God that the statement which he had advanced respecting the application made to hitn to oppose his father was quite true in every particular. r. Jos. CLARILN defended Mr. Willis from the charge of incurring unnecessary . espences in prosecuting appeels. 11 r. ItElo spoke m favour of Mr. Winch's return. 111 r. Wieks then rose. Ile Ilia not fear to court the sciu. tiny of those by whom he was accused. lie w3t4 charged with accepting lOU/. e-year more than he had solicited Um the 'pa. rieh for his long and laborious services. Yes, he had been AC cused of taking this additional 100/. a.year, which orris WM- 1 nanimously voted to hint by a vestry, consisting of 309 reepect. able inhabitants; and the day on which that vote was passed, he should ever consider as the proudest 'if his life—not in con siderationof the addition which it brought to his income, lout because that vote implied that his long and; faithful services were appreciated by his fellow-parishionets. Ile would ask, what were the marvellous chinges which had occurred since last Easter Tuesday . , when the vote was passed to increase his salary, that oten's minds shoUld have turned against him, and that he who was semen Led tiounimouely then, should now be held up al an object of suspici o n a nd distrust? With resneet to the charge brought against him of apposing the Al*Adamizlug . Of Finsbury-place, he was not ashamed to deny that it was with a view of saving the parish the expellee of that measure that be vetted againet it. In doing so he had secrificed his psi vete interest to his sense nl' public duty ; for while he opposed. the measure, he ofliaed to pay 511/. cut or his own pocket tke inhabitants would consent to have, the place M'Achmilzed by. private subscription ; or he offered to give double the %annual subscription of any of the inhabitantein order to effiect that ob. jest. As to the charge of not acting kindly to the poor, he appealed to the acts of his Net life for grout of his humanity. Out lit the 66 gu a rdiens of the poor' belonging to the pariah, five only had conic forward to advance that charge, but with' sock a majority in his favour he had lit tle need to ?eel uneasy on that score. Ile had never given intentional offence to any person connected with the pariah, and he invited thu vestry men Who' were present to say if he had ever offered an insult to otie of thent.—(A voice in the crowd—" T am one to when) you offered an insult.")—Then make room for the Gentleman, and let him gate his grievance. Two of the vestrymen then preSsed forward, but they did not appear to succeed in establishing any ground's of coMPlaint Against Mr. Wilk*. Mr:Wit:XS then resumed.—lle was happy that those gen tlemen had come fotward, because their objections proved that in point of fact there was no juet ground,' of complaint against hitn. The parishiutierc should pause before they discharged an old 'and'fititlittil serv:ant, agai . ist whose diameter not a whisper of suspicion had been heard. 'Would they deprive a 111311 of his livelihood, and ',end hitt, into the world with a brat.ti of infamy upon hint ? Mr. 14 ilks having concluded, Mr. Ft.o RAN cr. presented himself to the meeting. Ile WAS invittql by gentlemen of integrity anti honottrable character to offer himself to their notice. He made himself - no party to the charges advanced against Mr. %VIM*, and he diaclaitned any personal hostility to diet gentleman. The question was then put front-the Chair, and both oan. dictates beieg proposed, a show of hands wan taken for each, and a trifling majority eppeared in favour of Mr. Wilke.. The friends of Mr. Florence, however, who were nomeruns, de. mended a ballot. which , being agreed to, this day and to.mor row, from 9 to 4, were appointed for receiving the votes, A nd the meeting Alertly afterwards diepersed.

Nary-le-Strand, about seven o'clock in the morning. The tt./ fortunate old gentleman had formerly moved in a very r•spe4t.. l ablesphere of life, but had oflat4 become so extremely iithitcted . to drinking, that it was frequently found necessary to take'hint to the watchAtouse. The Can excitatl.the deepest interest in the parish. Mr. T. ti TOGS was the t:oniner on the occasion, and the - .tiny having assembled at the Spotted Dog in Strand. lane, took a view of the hotly, ithich still lay in the same place.' The following evidence was then adduced:— Samuel Hunt, watchman, deposed us follows :—I am ti watchman of St. Mary4e-Strand. About eleven o'clock last night, I found the deceased in the Strand, close by the corner of New Church-court. Hr. was s itt in o down against Air. Knight's door, or rather window. I told him to get up, but he, would not,'and some people put him into the coffee.shop next door, anti nave him some coffee. Some time after, I was again called to bring the detteaacdfl.ont the house, who refused to leave ioani. Ile had then aome coffee anti a I itifin before tiim. Ile was very much in and I had often seen him in the same sotto. When 1 took the deceased inta custody, he did pot complain of illness. On his way to the watch-house he sat down, and refused to walk any farther. Ile was at length • carried in by the assistance of the petrol :tire{ a watchman, to die %vetch-house in front of the church, and he was charged with being drunk, and as a vagrant. The deceased. was then placed in the lock-up room, in Strand-lane, for the night. A great coat was given hint to ITI:Ake a pillow. The deceased said, Pot very cemfortabl, t this (the watt will do very well." At this time the prispner was left alone. -lie wore a suit of black, but nu great coat on. place was very, cold indeed. [A gentleman beie exclaimed,"• The place is not fit to keep lat horse or dog in."! Henry Wells, of No. 6, Newcastle-court, sworn--I ant a tailor by trade, and was taken to the watch-house about a quar ter after 12 o'cloek,'and locked up. The deceased was lying ' along the floor, with the coat under his head. The floor Was boarded, The deceused groaned very much. I had no means or alarming any person in the house. I could not 1,..t0 to sleep in consequence of his gro,ins.• No one cone until four o'clock. The deceased groaned when I was put in. 1 did not know what was the matter with him. I gave an alarm to two men about half-past 7 o'clock. .- - - Alr..lltvent, a gentleman connected with Pr. Stanton, /me saitL that he bad been called up a bout two o'clock to bleed a female in the watch house, and if be had been infortned of the state or the man, itt nil probability his life would have been . saved. • , ‘‘ ells again examined—About seven o'clock I spoke to a baker, who gave an alarm to Mr. kirks, the watch-house keeper, who came down, and felt the deceased, who was quite cold. De said the num was dead, and then brat ;ht the street keeper, who came in half an hour, and a doctor was sent for ; I was then placed in an adjoining room, John Strickland, of No. an, Strand, proprietor of the coffeehouse •in queition, depned to the deceased being brought into his house, and his taking refreshment. The constable of the night denied that the deceased groaned. Wells had taken the coat from the deceased, %Web was again placed under his head at four o'clock. Had wittiess had the least idea of the state of the poor man, every assistance would have been aff'orded, as was done in the cast' of the female at two o'cloCk. There was no part of the cloak on the deccami at four o'clock, until it had been taken from the witness Wells. The watchmen on the beat solemnly declare& that they re gularly went round, and heard no groans. The witness (11 never called to them for assistance. About five o'clock, a grumbiing noise was heard as if a person was getting up, and beat Mg °lithe saw dust. The noise was not like that of a per, son in pain: Dr. George Frederick Coßyer, of Norfolk-street, had known the deceased for the last live years. His habits bud been those of a drunkartL lie was by profession 'a solicitor and one of the most eminent in the county of Brecon, I am positive the cause of' his death was apoplexy, to which continued inebriation had predisposed him, occasioned from cold. The Coroner and several jurors eNpressed a hope, that when the Case came before the public, the situation of the watch-house would ha amended, It was also observed, that complaints had frequently been made or the state of the place ~ which us open to the keen air from the river, and without windows. The officers were directed to inform the parochial autherideS of the sense entertained of the.state of the plats . . The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and then tOtind a vet:: That the deceased died in a fit of apoplexy, occasioned by cold brought on by continual inebriation. ' SUICIDE.

A few years back, in consequence of saint.: private calamity, she became despondent, and was frequently in quite a deranged state of mind. Mr • Tebbs, 'however, front the deceased having lived so long with him, igill retained her in his service, more from humanity than the use she was to him. On Sunday evening butt; about seven o'clock, the 'de:. ceasted canto to his chamberit, anti said, that her master's pre mises were certainly hartuteci, and that during the whole of the previous night she could not get any rest, in consequence of people attempting to get into the top of the haute, and begged witness would allow her to come in, and sleep in one of his bsck offices till morning ; Witness tried to compose bet :mind, and asked her what peoPle had attempted to get into the house?
